Close a pit, K*ll a community. Forty years on, a former miner relives the events of the Miners' Strike.About this Event
Close a pit, K*ll a community. Forty years on, Scots poet Rab Wilson relives the events of the 1984-85 UK Miners' Strike. His powerful poems seethe with rage, anger, passion and pity, a testament to the working-class struggle. Having toiled in Scotland’s mining industry for eight years, Rab emerges as an essential chronicler of a culture and way of life destroyed by Thatcherism.
